Welcome to Friday Fun on Day 5 of the online Bible study for Christmas Peace for Busy Moms, where today’s topic is Peaceful Actions, and we have a special holiday recipe!
Let’s look at this quote from the book:
Before you write your shopping lists, plan your parties, and prep your recipes, will you think carefully about how to be a peacemaker this Christmas?
I am approaching Christmas with a different attitude this year: trying to spread peace wherever I go.
You can increase your peace level at Christmas by using peaceful words, not just for others but for yourself as well. For Day 4 of the online Bible study for Christmas Peace for Busy Moms, we’re discussing Peaceful Words, and we have a special guest interview with author Micah Maddox.
Christmas Peace for Busy Moms day 3 Online Bible Study is here. We’re talking about peaceful expectations today. Today’s lesson is in video format. Enjoy!
Welcome to the first day of the online Bible study for Christmas Peace for Busy Moms! I have prayed over you and this day for months, and I’m so excited to meet with you here.

Without a doubt you’ve already seen plenty of Christmas advertisements already. You know busy December will be here so soon. If your heart is at peace before the season begins, your body will have the strength, energy, and peace to move forward through the chaos. That’s why I want to study peace with you here in November, before the full swing of the holiday season begins. If we work to find peace now, we will be more prepared to share it with others who need it so desperately. Let’s open the virtual pages of Christmas Peace for Busy Moms together and begin our search for peace in our hearts.
Rest…that’s what I’m searching for in my weekly rhythm of fast-paced days. That’s why I chose this book from a list of wonderful books to review. And, happily, I found rest just from reading just a few first pages.
I enjoy the blue-tinged pages, because the color blue is comforting and relaxing. I turned to the October 28 reading, which was the day I received the book on my front porch, and was wowed by the peaceful title, “Faith Over Fear.” I loved the way God used it to speak to my heart, the fears and my faith stirring together inside.
Here’s a quote that brought me comfort:
“Let go of your fears today. Lay them at the feet of God. Breathe in His promises of provision and exhale any doubt.”
This helps me in my current struggle of fearing what the future holds for my budding writing career.
I enjoy the short, readable format each day, perfect for a busy mom like me. The day begins with a Bible verse, then a brief devotion, then a one or two-sentence long prayer. Ideal for my mornings, lunch breaks, or evening prayer time. This book will be a treasure for building my faith walk.
I thumbed through other sections and I appreciate how the content is seasonal, such as Christmas themes in December. I also like relevant titles for today’s culture, such as March 2nd’s “Turn Off Technology, Tune Into Dinnertime.” This book also contains a helpful Scripture Index at the back, so you can quickly find devotions based on specific Bible passages. What a great resource 365 Devotions for Finding Rest promises to be for me!
I recommend this book to anyone wanting a convenient, encouraging, peaceful devotional that fits in a busy schedule. Holding this plum-colored treasure with peaceful blue accents will surely help you find rest in God’s presence.
